Alright here goes, I've been putting this off for a while but after completing a few things I'm quickly getting behind so I decided to get to it. So this really isn't a build thread since I'm no builder. But more as a keep track of mods/trips thread To start out my first rig ever going on 16...

The daily driver Dodge is gone so I snagged a semi-reasonably priced JK Unlimited from LHM Sandy (U4WDA sponsor). I worked with a few Dealerships to find a new JK and found our RME friend Dempsey at Doug Smith extremely amicable to work with. 100% recommendation for working with him and his...

The rig would stutter when under load, so the seller thought it was the tranny. We swapped plugs and wires...
